The National Context as backgroundAll schools in Scotland have been working towards successful implementation of Curriculum for Excellence for the last few years with the programme “going live” in all Scottish schools in August 2010. In secondary schools, all First Year pupils began learning within the Curriculum for Excellence programme at this time. This resource is concerned with that secondary school implementation process.Secondary schools are now entering the second year of the programme. This is being carried out against a relatively thin set of national documentation, although the seminal documents – particularly the Building the Curriculum series – are essential reading. This approach to supporting Curriculum for Excellence was devised by the original implementation team and has been supported by despite some comment from the teaching profession at large. Further exemplification has been supplied by Learning and Teaching Scotland, by some Scottish authorities and also by some commercial providers. The role of the BOCSH Group against this background has been simply to work cooperatively – with their authorities and with any other willing partners - to develop suitable, useful resources to support the leadership and management of implementation of the Curriculum for Excellence programme.
